ANNOUNCEMENTS
The University of Virginia Summer School is conducted for teachers
and students in high schools, academics and colleges and for those
who desire professional training for primary and grammar grade
work. It also offers many courses for college credit, and others to
meet the needs of students preparing for college entrance or who have
conditions to absolve. It takes as its peculiar province, not the
ordinary summer institute, but the solid and substantial training of
high school teachers, college teachers, college students, and teachers
who either have professional or life certificates or wish to procure
them. Because the courses of instruction in high schools are not
clearly defined but merge into the grammar grades below and into
the lower college classes above, the high school offers itself as a
strategic center around which to build up instruction, the emphasis of
which is upon subject matter. The justification of such a summer
school for high school teachers is the unusual activity in the South
just now in behalf of secondary education. The large number of high
school and college teachers attending the Summer School last year
is an additional proof of the need of such a school. In addition to
courses for high school teachers, the demand for courses for primary
and grammar grade teachers is fully met.
LOCATION.—Charlottesville, the seat of the University of Virginia,
is in a picturesque and healthful situation among the foot-hills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is at the junction of two great lines
of railway, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Southern, and is thus of
easy access from every part of the country. The sanitary arrangements
of the University are excellent. The climate is invigorating,
healthful, and free from malarial conditions, the average elevation of
the surrounding country being about six hundred and fifty feet above
sea level; the water supply is pure, being drawn by gravity from a
mountain reservoir six miles away; the system of drains and sewers
is complete. One mile from the University is an excellent iron
spring connected with the Jefferson Park Hotel, a much frequented
resort.
LABORATORIES AND MUSEUMS.—The equipment possessed
by the University for the work of instruction, alike in academic and
in the professional departments, has been much augmented in recent
years, and is now excellent in quality, as well as extensive. In scientific
studies large facilities are offered by the Rouss Physical Laboratory,
the Chemical Laboratory and the Museum of Industrial Chemistry,
the Lewis Brooks Museum, the Biological Laboratory. The
large Education Building with laboratories for Manual Arts and
Domestic Arts will be ready for occupancy this summer.
THE GENERAL LIBRARY.—The General Library is open to
the corps of instructors and the students of the Summer School from
9 A. M. to 1:30 P. M., 3 to 5, and from 7:30 to 10 P. M. The collection
contains about seventy thousand volumes, including the standard
books of history, literature, and science, and is particularly rich
in materials for the study of education and other social subjects. The
reference section is well supplied with encyclopædias and other
sources of information.
All books withdrawn from the library must be charged at the desk.
Usually books are lent for one week but there are exceptions, and
later than the date on which the loan expires is expected and borrowers
will be fined ten cents for each day delinquent. Students are
expected to give prompt attention to all communications from the librarian.
Volumes in the reference collection are not available to borrowers
but may be freely consulted in the library, and works in current
general use in connection with any course of instruction will be
temporarily placed on reference and made subject to this rule. All
bound magazines are classed as reference books.
REST AND STUDY ROOMS.—Madison Hall, the beautiful new
building of the Young Men's Christian Association, which was recently
erected at a cost of seventy-five thousand dollars, will be open
to students of the Summer School from nine o'clock in the morning
until ten at night. Students will have access to the current periodicals
in the reading room during the day and until ten at night. The
other rooms will be used for rest, for study, for recreation, and for
social gatherings. North of the building there are nineteen tennis
courts which will be equipped for the use of the students.
DAILY GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Daily from 11:30 to 12:15 there
will be a period in which the students may have the privilege of attending
a gathering of the entire body. At this time there will be
short addresses on interesting topics by prominent speakers invited
for this purpose, and a brief prayer and song service. Generally the
singing will be choral, under the direction of the instructor of music,
but occasionally, as opportunity offers, prominent soloists will be procured.
SUNDAY VESPER SERVICES.—Experience has shown that no
Sunday service held here during the summer has been more attractive
or more appreciated than what has sometimes been called the Sunset
Service. Holding this service at this hour enables all the faculty
and the students of the summer school to unite in one common service
without at all interfering with their attending the churches of their
choice in the city. This service, which will always be kept within one
hour, will begin at seven o'clock. It will consist of congregational
singing and a brief address by some prominent minister or layman.
The pipe organ used when held in the chapel is the work of one of
the best organ makers in the country, and is admirably adapted, both
in size and tone, for church purposes. When the weather permits
the service is held out of doors on the north steps of the Rotunda.
RECREATION.—Provision has been made to keep the Fayerweather
Gymnasium open for regularly registered students during
the summer, under the control of a competent gymnasium director.
No fee will be charged for the use of the gymnasium, and it is
hoped that every student will come prepared to take advantage of the
physical training courses. A portion of each day set apart to systematic
physical development will be profitably spent. The swimming
pool and baths will be at the service of the students. The tennis
courts belonging to Madison Hall will also be kept in readiness, duly
marked and with nets in place. The splendid athletic field, one of the
finest in the South, with base-ball ground and quarter mile running
track, will be at the disposal of those who wish to engage in the manly
sports. Within three minutes' walk from the Academic Building, the
woods may be reached. These woods and the neighboring mountains
furnish ample opportunity for pleasant strolls or for longer tramps on
Spring, a most efficacious chalybeate spring, which may also be
reached by street car.
EXCURSIONS.—Under the directorship of a competent guide,
there will be excursions to neighboring points of interest such as
Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson; the Natural Bridge; Luray
Caverns; the Grottoes of the Shenandoah; the battle fields in Virginia;
and any other points to which a sufficiently large number may care
to go. The proximity to Washington and Richmond (three hours
ride to each) should make a visit to either exceptionally interesting.
Saturdays will be reserved for these excursions. On designated
clear nights parties will leave Cabell Hall at 8 o'clock to visit the
McCormick Astronomical Observatory, where they will be shown
the stars through the large telescope in the Observatory.
ORGAN RECITALS, ENTERTAINMENTS, AND LECTURES.
—The pipe organ in Cabell Hall is one of the best products of one of
the largest organ manufacturers in America. It is an antiphonal organ
with fifteen hundred pipes, and exhibits all the possibilities of
organ manufacture. To bring out these possibilities requires a master
organist, and it is the purpose of the management of the Summer
School to procure distinguished organists for the recitals.
A Musical Festival and other entertainments will be announced during
the session of the Summer School. Last session a Lyceum Course
consisting of twenty high class entertainments was given for $2.00 for
a season ticket. The numbers included the Frank Lea Short Players,
Evan Williams, John Kendrick Bangs, Henry Southwick, The Mary
Sherrier Concert Company, and similar attractions. This year contracts
have already been made for three plays each by the Frank Lea
Short Company and the Coburn Players, and for a return engagement
by the Mary Sherrier Company, Dr. H. S. Southwick, Henry
Hatfield, Karl Jansen, and many others will be arranged. This has
proven one of the very best features of the Summer School.
FOURTH OF JULY PAGEANT.—Each year an elaborate pageant
is given in connection with the Fourth of July Celebration. An
extensive celebration will be a feature this year.
RURAL LIFE WEEK.—The time between July 13th and July 18th
will be devoted to the study of problems of rural life in general, and
rural school problems in particular. The discussions will center
around the large topics of better educational facilities for rural communities;
better means of communication; improved methods of cooperation;
the improvement of sanitary conditions; good roads; etc.
Especial emphasis is to be placed on woman's work in the country,
and the country preacher. Distinguished speakers from all sections
of the United States will participate in these conferences.
There has been no more helpful, interesting, and vital enterprise connected
with the Summer School than this conference. It is of interest
not only to the students attending the Summer School, but to county
superintendents, progressive farmers, and citizens' improvement
leagues. The proceedings of the Conference for last year were published
and distributed and there was a wide-spread demand for copies.
Many similar conferences have been organized as the result of this
one. The Virginia State Horticultural Society will meet in connection
with the Conference on Wednesday, July 15. Governor Stuart,
of Virginia, has already accepted an invitation to make an address on
the 15th and Secretary Houston, of the United States Department of
the week will center around the Rural Church, and a large gathering
of country preachers and leaders is expected.
TEACHERS' POSITIONS.—The University Appointment Committee
receives demands for teachers each year. This Committee
would be glad to have well qualified teachers who are in attendance
upon the Summer School leave their applications with the Director,
who is a member of the Committee.
REDUCED RAILWAY RATES.—All students coming to the Summer
School from points within the territory covered by the Southeastern
Passenger Association, i. e. the territory lying south of the
Potomac and east of the Mississippi, should apply some time in advance
to the local agent for reduced rates. At a meeting of the
Conference Committee of the Southeastern Passenger Association,
the individual lines announced that they would authorize fares
for the University Summer School on a basis of approximately three
cents a mile plus 25 for the round trip. In case the agent has received
no instructions for selling reduced rate tickets to Charlottesville, Virginia,
the applicant should write promptly to the Director of the Summer
School, or Mr. Joseph Richardson, Secretary Southeastern Passenger
Association, Atlanta, Ga. Reduced rate tickets can be bought
only on one of the following dates: June 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th,
25th, 26th, 27th, 28th.
The Southern Railway Company, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company, the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, and all
railways within this territory will co-operate in the sale of these reduced
rate tickets. Application has also been made to the Trans-Continental
Passenger Association for similar rates, from the territory
west of the Mississippi, and teachers coming from the Western states
should write to the Director of the Summer School for instructions.
In Virginia reduced rate tickets will be on sale at all railroad stations.
Announcement of dates will be made later by the Department
of Public Instruction. Application has been made to have them correspond
with the above.
A committee will meet all incoming trains night and day, from
June 22nd to July 1st, to assist teachers in finding boarding places,
to attend to baggage and to render any other service needed. On arriving
teachers should inquire at the station for members of the committee
who will wear suitable badges. A committee of ladies from
the Y. W. C. A. will assist in welcoming teachers attending for the
first time.
BOARD AND ROOMS.—Board and room may be had at prices
ranging from $4.00 per week, where several stay in the same room,
upwards, according to accommodations and proximity to the University,
the average being $4.50 to $5.50 per week. Many of the
boarding houses immediately adjoin the University grounds.
One hundred single rooms and one hundred and twenty-five double
rooms in the University dormitories will be reserved in the order of
application upon the following terms: The price will be $5.00 for the
full term of six weeks for a single room, and $8.00 for a room which
will accommodate two. No reduction will be made for parts of a
term. Applications for rooms must be accompanied with the full
amount of the fee in order to have them reserved. The amount of
is made before June 10th. No rooms will be rented to any person
who does not register and pay the fee in the Summer School.
Rooms that are reserved will not be held later than July 1st. No room
will be open for occupancy before June 22nd. Each room is lighted
by electricity and will contain one bed, one mattress, one pillow, one
chiffonier, one table, one rocking chair, one straight chair. Double
rooms will be furnished with two single beds complete, unless a
double bed is especially desired; one chiffonier, except where there
are more than two in room; one rocking chair or one morris chair
and two single chairs. Wash stands and toilet sets will be provided
where necessary. Roomers must provide themselves with necessary
bed clothes, towels, etc. The Randall Building, East and West Lawns and
East and West Ranges will be reserved exclusively for ladies and will
be under the charge of Mrs. M. P. Harris, an experienced matron and
chaperone. Some members of the faculty will be located in each set
of dormitories. No cooking allowed in rooms. The rooms on Dawson's
Row will be reserved for men. The location of these dormitories
in the University grounds and the social advantages resulting
from bringing so many teachers close together make this
arrangement a very desirable one and the rooms are eagerly sought.
The University Commons, the handsome new dining-hall, will be
open for summer students and will provide table board for three hundred
and fifty persons at the very low price of $3.75 a week. The
University Commons will be managed this year by Mr. Charles
Jaimes a caterer and restaurateur of wide experience. A Restaurant
a la Carte and lunch counter will be run in connection with the
Commons, open from 9:30 A. M. to 11 P. M.
Application for dormitory rooms should be sent promptly, with retaining
fee, to Mr. C. H. H. Thomas, Assistant Bursar, University,
Virginia.
For list of boarding houses, rates, see page 68.
TIME AND PLACE OF RECITATIONS AND LECTURES.—
Recitations will begin in all courses Wednesday, June 24th, at 8:30 A.
M. Students should be present themselves at the first meeting of their
classes with the required text-books and be prepared with tablets to
take notes on introductory lectures. There will be no classes on Saturday
except possibly on Saturday, June 27th, when classes will
meet at the usual hours. The length of recitation will be one
hour, ten minutes of which will be allowed for transfer from one
room to another. Tuesday, August 4th, Wednesday and Thursday,
August 5th and 6th, will be used for examinations; the determination
being to provide for six full weeks of recitation over and above
registration and examination days.
Following the outline of each course in this announcement will be
found the time and place of meeting for each class. The courses outlined
will be given as scheduled. Students should therefore follow
the schedule in selecting courses that will not conflict. It is well for
the student to select such courses from this catalogue before the opening
of the Summer School, so that little delay may be experienced in
registration. The Summer School lecture rooms are for the most part
restricted to six buildings—the Education Building, Cabell Hall.
Rouss Physical Laboratory, Mechanical Laboratory, Rotunda and the
Law Building.
REGISTRATION.—Tuesday, June 23rd, will be devoted to the registration
of students. All students who can possibly do so should register
on this day. Those who fail to register before June 24th will
be permitted to attend classes and register as promptly as possible
at other hours. The Registrar's office, located in the New Education
Building, will be open continuously June 23rd, 24th, and 25th from 8:30
a. m. until 6:30 p. m. Students should consult freely with members of
the Faculty in case of difficulty in choosing courses. No certificate
will be granted to students who fail to register before Wednesday,
July 1st, except a certificate of attendance. Students preparing to
stand the examination for teachers' certificates held at this place by
the State Department of Public Instruction, July 23rd, 24th and
25th should enter twenty days prior to July 23rd.
Promptly at 9:30 Tuesday morning, June 23rd, all applicants for
registration will assemble in the auditorium of the New Education
Building for instructions in regard to filling out their cards, the location
of lecture rooms, and for consultation with members of the
faculty in regard to the courses of study they desire to pursue, or any
other matters upon which information is desired.
The form of registration will be as follows: Each student upon application
will receive a card with space for name and address, and for
courses to be taken. This card should be presented to the Registrar,
after it has been filled out, for purposes of filing. In exchange for it
the student will receive two cards filled out and signed by the Registrar.
These cards should then be presented to the Bursar, together
with the fee, if any, for each course. The Bursar will sign and return
one card to the student, who should present it to the instructors
in charge of the courses prescribed on the card. The student, after
presenting the card to the various instructors for enrollment in the
classes, will retain the same as a receipt from the Bursar, and for future
use. No student will be admitted to any course without a registration
card naming the course in question and properly signed by the
Registrar and the Bursar.
In registering, students must state upon the registration card what
credit, if any, is desired, as arrangements for credit must be made before
taking the courses. No course may be counted toward a certificate
without the consent of the Director or Registrar, and instructors
will not admit students to any course not mentioned on their registration
cards, which must be signed by the Registrar and the Bursar
to be valid.
IMPORTANT NOTE.—Every teacher who is applying for a Virginia
State Teachers' Summer School Professional Certificate of any
kind should bring with her and when registering file whatever certificate
she holds and which she desires to use as a basis of entrance
on such professional work.
NON-VIRGINIA TEACHERS.—The regulations in regard to
teachers' certificates and the requirements for entrance to certain
courses in the Summer School do not apply to teachers from other
states than Virginia unless they desire to apply for a Virginia Teachers'
certificate.
STUDENTS' MAIL.—In order to insure safe and prompt delivery
of mail, students should have all mail directed to University, Virginia,
giving always the street and number of their boarding place or the
number and location of their room in the University.
FEES FOR NON-VIRGINIA STUDENTS.—A single registration
fee of twelve dollars will be charged each person who registers
of the courses outlined in the catalogue (except a few special
courses which are so designated). No student, however, will be allowed
to take more than three advanced courses or six elementary
courses without special permission in writing from the Director.
Fees for Virginia Teachers.—Tuition will be entirely free to all
Virginia teachers in all the regular courses, both elementary and
advanced, leading to the professional and first grade certificates.
There are a few special courses offered to meet certain demands
but not necessary for certificate credit, for which fees will be
charged to all who take them. The fee attached to each is designated
in the catalogue. Small fees in laboratory courses will also
be charged all students who register in them.
Students from Virginia who are not teachers or preparing to
teach next session will be charged the same tuition as non-Virginia
students.
Fee for Course of Entertainments.—A Lyceum Course of high
grade entertainments and lectures will again be provided, as announced
on page 12. There will be altogether about twenty entertainments
and lectures, for many of which a single admission of
$1 to $1.50 is usually charged. Some of the plays will be "Pomander
Walk," "Merry Wives of Windsor," and "Robin Hood" by the
Frank Lea Short Company; "The Taming of the Shrew," "Joan
d'Arc" and "Iphigenia" by the Coburn Players; no one of which
could be seen for less than the prices mentioned.
Season tickets of admission to all the entertainments will be sold
to registered students of the Summer School for $2.50, though no
person will be required to purchase such ticket.
REGULATIONS CONCERNING CREDIT.—The instructor giving
each course will keep the class grades, and attendance, hold the
examination, and average the class grade with the examination
grade, returning to the Director the general average grade of each
student in each course. Absences or delayed entrance will be
counted against the student. A certificate for each course completed
with an average grade of 75 per cent will be signed by the instructor
and the Director of the Summer School, and mailed to the student.
When all of the certificates issued by the Director, which are required
for any State Teachers' certificate applied for have been received,
the Department of Public Instruction should be notified, and the appropriate
State Teachers' certificate will be issued in exchange for
the individual certificates noted above. Notice of the completion
of courses counted towards University credit should be made to the
Registrar of the University of Virginia.
Credit Allowed by Other States than Virginia.—Application has
been made to other Southern States for credit equal to that accorded
by the Virginia Department of Public Instruction. Credits
are now allowed toward the extension of the certificates by certain
other States. Some States authorize the University Summer School
instructors to hold State examinations. In other States arrangements
may be made upon application of the teachers from those
States. All persons wishing to arrange for credits with their respective
school authorities should correspond with the Director of
the Summer School.
